“SERGEANTS AND SOLDIERS RULE” IN HELICAL SUBSTITUTED- ACETYLENE COPOLYMER EMULSIONS

摘要

The "sergeants and soldiers rule" occurring in helical copolymer emulsions derived from an achiral monomer (M1) and a chiral monomer (M2) was observed. TEM, GPC, and 1H-NMR techniques in combination demonstrate the formation of nanoparticles constituted by the copolymers. CD and UV-Vis spectra show the (co)polymer chains in the nanoparticles adopt helical structures of a predominant helicity, and the copolymers follow the "sergeants and soldiers rule" in forming helical structure.
